SLF great Irish band,, passed the torch to ThinLizzy who sadly left the mantle to U2 after PhilLynotts death as KINGS OF IRISH ROCK,somewhere along the way the economy dried up and so did the musicianship,U2 couldnt lick ThinLizzys` crotch,TheEdge couldnt play a solo to save his life let alone head-cut with Sykes or Gorham,and Bono has got 'zero' charisma and really , hes got NO guts! Not for singing rocknroll! Bono should be singing back-up in some band! But then we are baaaack to the economy!
Great version, Mark..... I sliced open the middle finger of my right hand yesterday, it's nicely stiched and bandaged now. I know it's not my little finger, but it's still stiff! All the best :-) Alan
Actually met these guys up the west end when i was a kid and to be honest they kinda scared me, I hadn't a clue who they was then, to me then they was simply crazy wild looking and acted as though they was drunk, one of the girls withem gave me a wink that scared me stiff, was told they was a punk band afterwards doing a media thing (Trafagar Square) I was just bunking school with mates
Hey Mark!! Wow- you have been bizzy-dizzy with your vids....'Gotta getaway'....we are both going to getaway soonish - yay for the summer!! :) 5 stars and best wishes, today and for next Monday!! Sunbeam :)
well Mark.. u told me u thought some might be too perky or too rock for me.. but u were wrong cus i loved all 4 of these! i am a lover of the thumpin on the guitar thingy.. the only thing i am good at.. i actualy one nite played the neatest one song i ever did on the guitar and i had lots of those in it.. but i never could get it down the next day.. it was a moment i lost that i so wish i could ve gotten on cam or find again, but maybe someday i will do it by chance again! LOL wonderful!
i'm sure you were into the punk hype once, weren't you?
I saw the SLF many years ago with Foxton on the bass, and i was f disapointed. There was a moment though. It was while Bruce sang his "Smithers-Jones", one of my top 5 Jam songs
I was well into punk my friend... I have over 300 singles for the period 1977 to 1979... It's not easy to reproduce the sound on an acoustic guitar. Not for me anyway lol... I saw them in 1979 and they were brilliant at that time I thought ;-)
Cheers for your email . Will practice those chords immediately.

Well done. You seem to play different chords to most of the tabs.
It's normally G D C D
Could you tell me your chords and what chords are you playing for the chorus?
Just learning it that all. ;-)
